The Longest Journey Home is the name of the game that would finish April’s story, but its existence depends, at this stage, on Red Thread reaching the stretch goal of two million dollars in its Kickstarter funding of Dreamfall Chapters. It is, perhaps, a long shot. But maybe the promise of another game is enough to inspire even more support, especially given how The Longest Journey Home would return to its roots: it is planned as a 2D point-and-click adventure akin to the original game, rather than as a 3D adventure in the manner of Dreamfall and Dreamfall Chapters. It would feature hand-painted backdrops, 3D character models, and, of course, a story penned by series creator Ragnar Tørnquist.

Dear me! We need that 2 million goal! I cannot pledge more, but if necessary near the end, and if it looks like the goal might be reached, I will have to think again.

The Longest Journey Home will pick up right where The Longest Journey left off, filling in the 10-year gap unaccounted for in Dreamfall. But it will also extend beyond Dreamfall Chapters and conclude April’s adventure. And that comes as good news to the players that have been so invested in her fate over the last dozen years.

A 2D interface doesn’t just mean classic gameplay for nostalgic fans, though: it allows The Longest Journey Home to have a different, slower pace than it may otherwise have. It also works well on mobile phones and tablets, and Tørnquist is certain that the game will find a home on such devices in addition to the PC.

I don't get it. I thought this Dreamfall Chapters: The Longest Journey was supposed to complete the game - April's and Zoe's stories(even though I never saw a connection between them). Now they're talking about 2 different games?

Don't forget that a miracle would be required to get $865,000 within 7 days when almost everyone already pledged to their eyeballs. They never thought this goal would be reached. As to the idea of another Longest Journey after this one... was it not on the cards? I think it was, but I could be wrong.

I love Dreamfall, but I must admit that I am pleased to hear the next project after Chapters is going to be a follow up to April's first journey and it will be in the same 2D style. It's a shame they could not start with that project, it will be 2015 or 2016 before this game sees the light of day. The end of our own Stark might happen first.
